8 Month Old Fetus with Developing Body System
Animation of an 8-month fetus in utero. The environment is textured and tinted a dark red to similiate being in the womb. The initial camera shot is of the posterior of the fetus. The skin of the fetus is translucent and vaguely shows the skeletal system beneath. The camera zooms in and begins to rotate to the front of the fetus. As this occurs, the different systems of the body are highlighted. First the nervous system is highlighted with the developing brain and spinal cord, followed by the digestive system, then a glmpse of the sketetal and muscular system and finally the skin becomes opaque.
